Default How do you reference the logged on user name in excel?

Leith,

Is this using the VBA part of excel? I am pretty much a newbie in that. I
have written any type of VB code in a while... I will try to keep at it but
s far I am unsuccsessful.

Sincerely, Taurus.

Hello Taurus,

The name of the current user can be returned using
Application.UserName. There are 3 headers on each Worksheet, Left,
Center, and Right. These are accessed through PageSetup.

Example for Left Header:
Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.LeftHeader = Application.UserName

Example for Center Header:
Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.CenterHeader = Application.UserName

Example for Right Header:
Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.RightHeader = Application.UserName

Remember this has to be done to each sheet you want a header to appear
on. Replace "Sheet1" in the examples with the name of Worksheet that
will have a header.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
